THE RUNAWAY RAFT BROKEN UP.
Logs Found Drifting SingIy by the
 Enterprfse.


 NEW LONDON, Conn. Dec. 25.-The United States steamer Enterprise, Captain McCalla, arrived here this afternoon after successful search for the big lumber raft abandoned by the Miranda off Nantucket shoals. When the Enterprise was one hundred and thirty five miles southeast by south from the shoals she fell in with an immense number of logs from the raft, proving beyond doubt that the raft had broken up. The steamer was among the logs all day and part of Friday night. None of the logs were lashed together, but fioated singly and spread as they floated with the tide. The logs were not in the line of ocean steamships and Captain McCalla does not believe there is need of fear of danger from that source. The revenue steamer Grant, which was also cruising for the raft, arrived also, but did not see any portion of fha raft

 NORTH ADAMS, Dec. 25.-The work of put ting electric lights in the Hoesao tunnel is rapidly progressing. The Fitchburg railroad will erect 8 permanent brick electric light station at the west portal containing 150- horsepower engine to furnish power to drive three Westinghouse alternating steam dyna- mos. Steam pipes will also be extended in the tunnel about 500 feet to protect the brick work from frost. It is expected that the work will be completed in few weeks. The proposal to light the tunnel involves several more problems of electric engineering exper- iments made last summer, showing that gas and smoke exert powerful corrosive effect on ordinary appliances, so that all metal about the lamps must be done away with.

STRIKERS ON A NEW LAY.
Flint Glass Workers Secure n Factor and Go Into Business for ThemseIve

Flint Glass Workers Secure Factory
 and Go Into Business for themselves.
 PITTsBURG, Dec. 25.-The Flint Glass Workers union, whose members are on strike, has purchased for $6, 900 factory near East Liverpool O. At the outset sixty men will be employed and additions will be made if the business increases. The factory will be under the supervision of the union and the profits will be turned into it's treas ury. The union is also negotiating for the purchase of another factory and in addition to these the establishment of another one at Canton, O., is not unlikely. A resident of that town called at headquarters to-day and said he had S15, 1000 to invest. The strikers have given up hope of compromise and are preparing for long fight, In the county court yesterday Judge Bailey gave boy ap- prentice at glass factory one week in which to return to work or suffer sentence. The boys defense was that he thought he was discharged because he had joined a labor union which had entered upon strike. Judge Bailey decides that an apprentice can- not join uniOn.

Until your hair becomes dry, thin, and gray before giving the attention needed to preserve it's beauty and vitality. Keep on your toilet-table a bottle of Ayers Hair Vigor-the only dressing you require for the hair-and use a little, daily, to preserve the natural color and prevent badness.
 Thomas Munday, Sharon Grove, Ky, writes Several months ago my hair commenced falling out, and in few weeks my head was almost bald. I tried many remedies, but they did no good. I finally bought bottle of Ayers Hair Vigor, and, after using only part of the contents, my head was covered with heavy growth of hair. I recom- mend your preparation as the best hair restorer in the world.''

How IT is DONE.


We learn from London Queen-Y onnk
people who are to be married make a list
together of all persons to whom cards
should be sen:, and all the invitations
go from the lady's family. The bride
writes note of thanks before she leaves
home to-all from whom presents have
come, including her husbands relatives
and friends and her own. Especially is
it necessary to write those people whom
she does not know, but whose gifts have
arisen from regard for her tiancse or
her parents. 1t is in better taste to write
these notes on one note paper rather
than cards.
The Washington Critic says. when call
ing to present letter of introduction the
caller does not goin. He simply leaves
the letter with his card and address. II
the letter has been given for special
purpose, which purpose should be men,
toned in the letter, card may be sent
in with it and an interview requested.
Hdrper'S BGzGr sayd, on reception days
a lady wears plain rich dress, but takes
care never to be ovsrdressed at home.
When visitors enter she rises and seats
them SO as to have, if possible, word
with each. She is on the alert to notice
arrivals that she may be sure to speak TO
every guest.
